you might have gotten bit by something and were unaware of it at the time or you could have possible come into contact with something your allergic to.
try applying benadryl or hydrocortisone cream to the area and see if that helps.
you can also try using some ice (make sure to wrap the ice pack in a washcloth so it's not directly touching the skin). ice it for about 10 minutes and then apply the cream.
if it doesn't go away within 24-48 hours, or starts to hurt worse or increase in size-then make an appt to see your dr.
